CH Bully Boy’s Ode To Lockerbie

TommyBy Fern Dittmar, Bully Boy Bullmastiffs

Tommy was a beautifully put together dog that moved effortlessly and true. Very affectionate and congenial, Tommy loved the attention of being in the show ring, and was always “on”. He was the consummate show dog. In the short period of time that Tommy was specialed, he was a consistent Breed winner and placed regularly in the group. Our T- T Man was #3 in the country at one point.

To Bill and I, he was the son who did well in school, scored high on his IQ test, excelled at sports, and brought home the trophies.

In the middle of the standard, Tommy was 26 inches at the shoulder, compact, and substantial. Type, top line, excellent pigment, nice head piece, strong wide under jaw, good rear ends, correct tail set, movement, and of course his wonderful cerebral personality are some of the things we have seen consistently in the puppies he has sired. Tommy was not a couch potato, and most of his get are very bright outgoing animals that love people, and are up for anything. We are very proud of the confirmation titles, as well as all the working titles Tommy’s get have achieved.

Tommy was the pick puppy from our breeding of “Bette” x “Sunny”. Six (6) puppies from thislitter became champions, and went on to become the foundation of our breeding program. Seeing something of Tommy in his offspring is truly a breeder’s delight. Although there is only a limited amount of frozen semen available from Tom, we take heart in knowing that the potential still exists for a few more quality generations of his get.

Living with Tommy was a privilege. He passed at 10+ and is buried, here, at our new home on Bully Mountain.
